Uh.. how can you compare R5′s from a group like PUKKA to Axxo who only does DVDRips. PUKKA does a fine job on their dvdrips, occasionally a slip up will happen and they or someone else will repack, but for the most part they’re quality. Oh, also to inform you, Diamond doesn’t do telesync releases. Only quality xvid DVDRips. Only 5 movies out of MANY releases since 2006 have been nuked and am sure at least 2 of those were insignificant nukes. Isn’t shit. Diamond owns.

He may well encode from scene DVD-Rs, in which case there is a small quality loss in many cases – because most DVD movies are released as DVD9 and the main title usually goes over both layers. The scene makes most DVD-R releases as DVD5 and hence re-encodes MPEG2 with some loss of quality.

If aXXo (or anyone) encodes these to MPEG4 (Xvid) then the quality will not be as good as someone encoding from a retail DVD to Xvid because there has been an extra lossy encoding step.

The reason I say to avoid aXXo is it’s not scene. The scene has standards to ensure quality and if releases don’t pass these standards then they’re nuked.

I’ve never seen a 2 CD aXXo release – doesn’t mean they aren’t out there mind you, I don’t get files from places where aXXo releases are to be found anymore. Many DVDs require a 1.4GB release to keep a good level of quality up according to scene standards.

Not all P2P groups are crap – Devise, GrandDK are two that aren’t – however aXXo, imo isn’t up to standards at all. And generally I stick to scene content because it has a quality standard that any random releaser does not have, including proper sources, preperation (cropping etc.), encoder settings and a warranty of quality of sorts (IE. nukinh of bad releases).

That being said I think mpaa assholes have taken over this thread.

Lol thats easy. Search ‘W’ and the year it was made… Ie ‘W 2008′. If that don’t work, add a ‘dvd’ to the search.

Tip #234 for Movie Makers on how to make your movie pirate-proof:

Restrict the title to just 1 letter.

There are just to many newbies who listen to all that axxo hype rather than taking time to actually find a quality rip.

Like the other day i uploaded a game that happened to be faulty. Ive uploaded hundreds of other torrents that worked great but still i got unessential rude comments.

I remember when people used to be good to other file sharers. Now it just seems to be everyman for himself which sucks :(

I also watch a lot of movies and don’t really want to wait more than a few hours to finish a d/l. axxo’s stuff is great because I can count on a large swarm, consistent file size and can d/l 1-2 movies over a night and watch them the next day.

I have access to a private tracker for HDTV and I can tell you I thought I’d love it when I first got an invite, but I don’t. I downloaded a bunch of movies and ended up switching back to axxo and FxG on public because it’s just more convenient, faster and the only place the quality makes a difference is on my computer monitor which I don’t like to watch movies on.

I don’t understand how you can knock aXXo when he’s clearly filling a massive demand. If you don’t like his releases, then don’t download them and stfu.

actually dvdrip is out

I count six of the top ten as his/her/thier releases. SIX!

I dont care how you look at it, that is success… in the releases world.

much love

Well this chart isn’t about pirates opinions, it’s about what they’re downloading which is completely different.

The only movie I’ve downloaded and watched on there is RocknRolla, and I’ve commented on that movie before.

I am quite interested in ‘Body of Lies’ though, it’s supposed to be like Taken / Arlington Road sort of movie (according to iMDB’s You may also like…)
